I had a rough winter, for a variety of reasons and am trying to get some plants back into the collection:

I lost all of my VFT's and cobra lily, D. adelae, D. prolifera, D. falconeri, D. ordensis,... spatulata, capillaris,
rotundifolia, intermedia, burmannii. gypsicola, cyclosecta, gracilis, Aldrovanda, Schnell's Ghost, Leah Wilkerson, wriggleyiana.

I have extra P. moctezumae, P. moctezumae x gigantea, P. esseriana, D. venusta, D. natalensis plants, as well as D. indica and D. capensis seeds.
 
Those are some tough losses, Jim. I lost all my VFTs here as well and a few expensive pitcher plants. I have lots of D. intermedia seed that I wouldn't mind swapping for D. indica. If leaf cuttings are able to be sent in standard envelopes and remain viable I wouldnt mind snipping off a few D. intermedia leaves to speed up the process. Just let me know.
 
Man, that really stinks. I could send you some D. dichotoma 'Giant' leaves to help your Drosera collection recover, if you're interested.
 
PM me you address and I can send you a D. spatulata.
 
Im in MA so i feel yr pain, we lost more then half our program plants and i lost almost all my personal cactus collection i used to show the kids :( its very hard to start over again, i kno personally have had to go through it twice already and im still barely up to full speed on my programs end.. Nevermind myself! I wish u the best i really wish i had something u were looking for that i could spare :) best of luck sorry to hear about yr loses
 
You pay for shipping And I can give you all the vft and adelae you want! Maybe a few more on the list.
 
Wow that sounds like an awsome deal!! I wish i could get in on that hahaha ;)

I'm going to be getting D. adelae. What VFT hybrids do you have?

LOL! You either have cats or your name is Katherine, or something to that effect. I started out by scarfing up what I could find at Lowes and Home Depot. I stumbled upon Terraforums while googling pictures of the plants I bought, that I couldn't ID from the names the pots had on them, as well as the pictures from CP books, where there were just too many plants that looked too much alike. From the discussion forum, I got in on as many trading post offerings I could. There's a lot of generosity, here, which is what you are seeing on this thread. Collectively speaking, well getcha started. I've got sundew seeds I can share.
